Michael Leonard Jewell, Indie Author

Occasionally while perusing the web, I will run across my first book AT HOME IN OLD SODUS sporting a brown cover (with artwork depicting a photograph of a young father holding his baby) as opposed to the multi-color cover with little red-haired Amberley and the train pulling into the Sodus depot. I admit I see the brown cover less and less these days but it is still out there. Some may be confused to see the same book with two different covers so I thought I might offer an explanation.
The brown cover is from the original publishing of AT HOME IN OLD SODUS, published by another publisher before I decided to launch out under my own name of FIRST SCHOOL PRESS. I subsequently republished the book with a different ISBN, different cover and print formatting to match all of the subsequent books in the OLD SODUS series. The brown cover is from the same manuscript but is no longer available and not part of FIRST SCHOOL PRESS. All of the OLD SODUS books can be purchased through Amazon, Barnes & Noble et al. Thanks—MLJ

James Fenimore Cooper -diary note

"Saturday, January 1st, 1848. — Read St. John. No church. Weather very mild, though snow fell in the night. Walking very bad, and I paid no visits out of the family. Had ***, ***, ***, ***, and ***, at dinner. A very merry evening with the young people. Played chess with my wife. Wrote a little in 'Oak Openings' to begin the year with."

W. SOMERSET MAUGHAM

“There are three rules for writing a novel.
Unfortunately, no one knows what they are.”

DANIEL BOONE

"I can't say as ever I was lost, but I was bewildered once for three days."

BEN JOHNSON-Cowboy Actor

"I don't have to say four letter words around women and kids to make myself a name."

ROBERT FROST

“No tears in the writer,
no tears in the reader.
No surprise in the writer,
no surprise in the reader.”

LOUIS L’ AMOUR

“Start writing, no matter what. The water does not flow until the faucet is turned on.”

HERMAN MELVILLE—AUTHOR (MOBY DICK)

“To produce a mighty book, you must choose a mighty theme. No great and enduring volume can ever be written on the flea, though many there be that have tried it.”

KENNETH ROBERTS-NORTHWEST PASSAGE

She turned to Sam. “An artist needs encouragement, Mr. Livermore. If he’s a good artist, he’s never satisfied with what he does. He’s forever doing over and doing over, and feeling uncertain about what he’s done; so he oughtn’t to have worries over and above his work. What he most needs is peace of mind—and I’ve done all I could to see that Langdon had it.”
